DIY: Simple and Sustainable Paper Bag Stars
Step 3:
Sketch a shape for the arms of the stars. You can embellish the design with small nicks in the arms of the star, or keep it plain and simple. Cut out the shape.
Step 4:
Once you have cut through the shape, continue glueing three more bags on to your design. Using your shaped bags as a template, cut the next three bags out. Repeat with the remaining three bags until all nine bags are glued together and shaped.
Step 5:
Now, open your design to reveal your paper star shape.
Step 6:
Using a hole punch, make a hole through two points of the star. Thread with jute twine or thin velvet ribbon.
Step 8:
Tie two knots in the ribbon: one near the hole you’ve just made and another towards the end of your ribbon.
The Finished Look
Your star is ready to hang. If the joining folds of the star don’t sit flat together, you can secure them with a paper clip.
